I'm not sure if there are any knitters in the midst here BUT if you are a geek who also happens to enjoy stitching away during your sci-fi television time you might want to take a look at this intriguing knitting pattern for a hat I found during my travels around the World Wide Web. It is an R2D2 Beanie and anyone that knows and loves the Star Wars series knows all too well who (or more precisely, what) R2D2 is. In fact, many of us find that this lovable droid is a favorite character throughout the entire Star Wars series.
I must admit that the geek in me is screaming "right on!" about this pattern. The novice knitter in me is shuddering a bit as this is decidedly outside of my knitting comfort zone. That being said, this is a pattern that I am determined to attempt in the near future. Perhaps I'll have it mastered and it can grace a stocking by Christmas 2008. If not, there is always 2009 to wait for perfection there. I would love to hear from any geekettes in the audience that have attempted or plan to attempt this awesome little knitting project. Photos, encouragement, and challenges are also greatly appreciated...and may the powers of the light side of the force guide your needles for the warmth of heads, big and small everywhere. Okay, I know that was an excessively geeky moment but one I couldn't resist. Enjoy!
